Its been a year since I decided to put out fashion content in a story-telling way and create fashion tips instead of just some pointless content ... And oh, its been a heck of a year! I've learned a lot about myself, what I want to do with Mancinas's spot and where I want to go with it, who I want to work with and I hope you like the choices I made.
I appreciate every single one of you, for being loyal, REAL and for sharing the love for fashion with me. Instead of buying followers and gaining a fake audience, I decided to stay real and appreciate our little community that is growing slowly and steadily. THANK YOU!
And now that 2016 is sayin' goodbye I thought it would be fun to pick my TOP stories - out of all 72 features published this year and share them with you.

Pull your "ugly" Christmas sweater out and go "all-in" with the festive spirit once and for all! And although I've got quite a few really cheezy ones (yikes!), I decided to pick the most subtle of them all (alpine/winter print ftw!) and I styled it with an unusual color combination for winter.

New Year's Eve is just around the corner and it's time for another outfit idea, that I made in collaboration with Women'secret. Oppose to my first one (here), which was quite chic and youthful, I believe this one is a bit more elegant and feminine. A sheer blouse is a mysterious piece of clothing that reveals a little something, but still keeps the rest to your imagination. The look stays discrete, which is - if the occasion is right - a perfect way to show off a gorgeous piece of lingerie that's hidden underneath.

Fashion tip:
A gorgeous set of lingerie is essential for every woman. Regardless of the fact that it's hidden underneath our clothes almost all the time, there is no greater feeling then wearing gorgeous underwear. It boosts your confidence and makes you feel special, even on a regular day. And you know what? A little lace peeking out of your top or even your sheer blouse can look extremely feminine without looking inappropriate.
And if you ask me, lingerie is also a great gift idea, ... for your special one. ;)

Most Xmas outfits are very feminine and cutesy. But what if you are more of a tomboy type of girl and you don't want to tuck yourself in a tight glitter dress - yet still want to wear some bling-bling? Well, my suggestion is... "Do" the glitter pants instead! :)
Today's outfit has the acceptable amount of glitter for a daytime attire, yet it still looks festive and fun! :)

Fashion tip:
Glitter can sometimes look quite overwhelming but it most surely is a very appropriate material for the festive days. So if you fancy wearing it, but don't want to look like a Christmas tree, I suggest you layer it! That way the glittery piece won't be straight "in your face" but will do the job, while peeking out of the layers. The second handy tip is to dress it down, by adding casual daytime attire to the outfit. You will look effortlessly chic and daily appropriate in a snap!
I have decided to dress the glitter pants down with a pair of boots, layered them with a long tulle dress and added a sparkly beanie. (Imagine how would this pants look with a pair of stilettos, a silky blouse and hair in a bun? Perfect for a festive dinner, don't you think? ;)

I am well aware that floor-length coats aren't for everyone's taste, but as far as I'm concerned they are my fav statement piece to wear when it gets cold. I have actually inherited this love for coats from my mom. And I'm as proud as I can be, when I dig into her closet, wear her designs (this one and the one from myprevious feature) and share them with all of you guys. I've actually wanted to create a very "simple" look today, just to showcase how only one statement piece - such as this fantastic coat, can make such a difference and upgrade your look instantly.

Guys can you believe its December already?! This means the final Christmas countdown has begun, festive parties are just around the corner and so is the "shopping gift madness."Now, it may sound weird or crazy even, but I kinda don't feel the festive spirit this year, which is why I have decided to shoot my first festive outfit idea by the sea, under a warm Italian sky. It was also cause I didn't want to freeze to death while shooting hahaa
But since most of the parties are indoors, I figured, this is the perfect place to take a few pics of this gorgeous Women'secret body - as the eye catcher of this Friday's outfit. We'll get to those jingly features as December unfolds, no worries.

Fashion tip:
Bodies usually serve as an extra warming piece during winter time, but as for 'recently' you can indeed look all glammed up and wear your body instead of a regular top as well.
With that being said I have transformed my sparkly beauty into a "jumpsuit" with high-waisted trousers and created a perfect festive outfit.
Now since the sleeves are sparkly silver, I matched them with some tights underneath my trousers to make the outfit as a whole.
For a daytime appropriate version you can simply wear a blazer over it and you are good to go. But when the sun hides, put down your sunglasses and your coat, and release your inner feminine beauty!
